DM's notes - Game 2

The encounter with the bats in this game was the first to feature a monster that I custom made. Before this, I was just copying out of the monster manual. That got old pretty quick as I found out that the party were far too strong for the monsters as they were in the manual. Here's my first attempt:

Swarm of Bats: Level 1

Initiative: 3       HP: 20    Bl: 10

AC:16  F:12  R:13  W:18

Speed: 5

Resist 1/2 damage from melee or range.

Vulnerable 5 close or area attack damage

ATK: Scrape

Standard action, at-will

Move up to 5. While passing: +7 vs. AC. Hit: 1d6+3

ATK: Envelope

Standard action, at-will

+5 vs. Reflex. Hit: Target is surrounded. 2d4 damage, and target is immobilised (save ends)

Battle notes:

• The stone of healing granted Regen 5 while standing on it.
• A full move action was needed to climb the stairs (under the balcony) and arrive in front of the organ
• The temple was very low light. Lighting the fixed torches on the side of the room gave off a slight aura.
• Lighting those by the floor lit up the room through reflection off the floor
